Craft Consortium, The Herbarium, Suitcase Garden/Gift Box

Craft Consortium has a wonderful new release just out...

It's called The Herbarium and features two clear stamp sets, three sets of cute metal charms and a sumptuous 12x12 premium paper pad.


As you can see below, I've had a lot of fun making mine into a 'Suitcase Garden' Gift Box...  just perfect for those keen gardener types out there!












I've started by covering the suitcase die in paper prior to cutting, then stamped a few images on to tissue paper and attached that to the front.

Add some charms, toppers, stamped and water coloured images to the front (along with a few dies from my own personal stash), then decorate the inside just enough so it doesn't look bare...

...  and there you have it.



I do so love making gift boxes, and this collection makes it so easy.



Here's a list of the Craft Consortium supplies used:




*
12x12 Premium Paper Pad



Clear Stamp set - Herbs



Metal Charms - Trowel



Metal Charms - Herb Scissors

Have a great week!

Cherish The Memory, Framed Ephemera, Garden Theme...

If you stumbled across my last post for Cherish The Memory you will know that I made a Wrapped Journal with a difference as the pages were made from passport protector covers.


Why?

 To help store all of the ephemera that I have in mind for future projects.



As a continuation of that theme (I'm using the same style ephemera, but I've mixed it up a bit with nuts and bolts, etc from another collection) I've created a piece of wall art that I hope captures a sense of 
'being in a garden/a beautiful outdoor space'.





Take a look...

Supplies Used...




Lemoncraft





StudioLight

Rather than use foam pads, I alter depth and perception on my projects by simply layering up glued die cuts...



...  And if it's a piece of ephemera I want to layer up?

 I cut scraps of card and glue those to the back instead.

I hope I've inspired you to get out your stash today!
